Complementing these discussions, the Allure Masterclasses featured top creatives—Lala Flores, Denise Go Ochoa, Lourd Ramos, and Booya—offering live demonstrations alongside beauty and wellness brands. Guests explored innovations and editor-trusted products, gaining an exclusive opportunity to learn, test, and experience beauty firsthand.
